It’s a real pleasure to finally unveil this site since Colin, Matto, and I worked so hard on it. Kings Of A&R is the music industry weblog to read if you want to learn about new bands, are a part of a band yourself, or are a record executive looking for the next big thing. Dean Cramer and crew have been running KOAR for awhile now, and he and his site are recognized as industry experts when talking about up and coming bands trying to make it big. It’s read by thousands of music industry big whigs everyday, so it was a great honor to be able to work on this site.

Gnoos is a new Australian weblog search engine, and their teaser page (that I designed) just went live! Stay tuned for the real site coming soon 😉
The Decisionmakers and Sucking Down
Venture capitalist and 9rules member Guy Kawasaki just wrote about The Art of Sucking Down, which essentially is how everyone needs to respect those who have power over certain aspects of our lives. Don’t piss-off waiters because they handle your food, did you see “Waiting”? Don’t yell at people at the airplane ticket counter because they control where your baggage goes and who you’ll sit next to. Basically Guy is saying that you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you, or else that hand won’t feed you anymore.
9charities: Trying To Give Back
I talk with my guys at 9rules a lot about the big picture. Right now many people see 9rules as a blog network, however we never really saw it as that even when we dreamed the idea up about one year ago. We’re moving our way towards building a community of the most brilliant people on the web — whether they’re businesswomen, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, technologists, scientists, or anyone else. Forget the concept of just a blog network, 9rules is now a place that can build on the combined talents of our massive community. Anyway, back to the big picture 🙂
